GD_American posted:Top notch. Turtle soup wasn't as good as the one other time I went, but everything else was exceptional. Everyone left very happy and very full. I enjoyed the shrimp curry, but my wife's boudin-stuffed quail was the winner of the table. The bread pudding was incredible. Awesome. I didn’t care for the turtle soup either but I think it was the sherry. Glad to hear y’all had a great time. And the bill….hey it’s Commander’s Palace.

Going on a long road trip to Raleigh. Leaving tomorrow night and planning to just do the full 13 hours straight. Hoping the kid sleeps well in the car because then we can get like 8 hours in with him asleep. If anyone has any interesting places to stop along I-64 or I-77 in WV and VA, let me know. Could us some good parks or things to stop at for a while to let the kid run around.

Last long drive was from LA to to Bend Oregon, 12 hour shot when the daughter was about 4, the way up total angel, piece of cake….the way back down..the whole cake. Swear she didn’t sleep a wink and was screaming good 70% of the time.

Super slow to kill stuff. I started working around with some sorc and necro character and jeez Louise they kill so much faster and have such better secondary resource supply/regen

Ornery and Hornery posted:You recall what build you were doing while leveling? Kept swapping around, but I settled on a nature magic build by the time I saw the earth and wind capstone or whatever it's called. Storm strike as your basic, Landslide as your core with the terramote upgrade, poison creeper, hurricane, and the storm ultimate. Poison creeper immobilizes a ton of things giving you a billion terramotes, then your landslides will always crit. The capstone makes it so every ability you hit except creeper will just randomly fire off other abilities you don't have and the screen gets covered in lightning strikes and tornadoes from all the landslides you do. Then if you get the legendary thingy that makes the bear charge into an earth skill, you replace hurricane with that and just laugh and laugh

I could definitely see some of the campaign fights as being pretty hard with a lot of builds. I had to drop to WT1 for a few. Like this big melee dude in chapter... 4 or 5 I think. Just couldn't move my druid fast enough to avoid his ridiculous hits and he tore through my like 6 potions

We watched TDK Rises last night because GF had never seen it, and I was totally caught off guard by Selina Kyle’s best friend Keeley.  GD_American posted:I tried my usual sneak-the-credit-card-to-the-waiter-way-early maneuver, but apparently at a certain level of service they actually ask the reservation holder (my sister) how payment is handled. Good way to avoid all those tedious "no, allow me" battles at the end of the meal. Lmao my BIL always tries to do this but my dad always refuses to let him, and he finally got his card to the waitress without him noticing at our last dinner out and she came back and his card declined, it loving owned (I do not like this man, it was excellent)

Had a going away party last night because it was the best date available. Got lots of really thoughtful gifts and super useful stuff for the relocation (a personal fave is a GC friend of mine got me a good laser measuring tape which is coming with us this weekend on our house hunting trip). Also managed to adopt out some of our less cold-hearty plants like the passion fruit vine. Best gift though was a giant box of notes from friends that was written during the party (like a guestbook). As horrible as its getting I am really gonna miss Florida.

When I did code consulting in 2010 we had one to use between the four of us, and it was guarded under lock and key. Thinking about it now is like reminiscing on my dad getting upset because I installed the full 800MB of Fallout 2 to our PC and took up most of the hard drive.

I've also been on the D4. I've always been summon necro and I'm super happy that D4 appears to let that be a viable build. I'm only lvl 32 and just finished act 1 but I walked my char from act 2 main city down the coast to a merchant camp city or something but i went from my level zone to the zones where it says 45plus and I wasn't having really trouble with my skelly crew and golem killing level 45 dudes. They took a little longer bc they had more health but I just plowed my way through with my rolling crew of 10 dudes before I figured I should just finish act 1 lol. 5 cold skeleton mages just make short work paired with the AOE corpse explosion (that also have a 12% chance to spawn a corpse when they do dmg). Just bone spear the first dude. Buff the skellys, the enemies get slowed, pop the first corpse, in rush the reapers (that also make extra corpses), and the pop pop pop pop corpses until the screen is black and nothing remains but triumphant bones trundling forth to make the next corpse. WT1 but would think 15 plus level ahead I would have some trouble with getting one shot or something. Skelli crew for life. Edit: only bummer is that I can't see the boss models very well because the dark AOE corpse explosion effect. Some of the bosses look pretty cool EmbryoSteve fucked around with this message at 16:42 on Jun 12, 2023 |
